[QUOTE="Gay-Guy, post: 167809"] Thats the thing....the "divine" intervention the AB's relied on was Graham Henry because he had trained them to follow orers when they should have just looked at each other and said "WTF!!!" It is funny how during the 12 months leading up to the RWC the NZ public would often watch the AB's and wonder what the hell were they doing when they were in positions to hammer the last few nails in the coffin and close out a match yet would often let the opposition back in. Rustenberg in 2006 was a prime example. Tana left the team and no one stepped into his shoes. McCaw really is not a leader of men and may have been put there because there was no one else....Jerry Collins holds more of a physical presence than McCaw. The brains trust for NZ was sitting in the stands behind laptops when they should have developed some leaders and tacticians on the field who could think for themselves. [/QUOTE]
